Arsenal star Mesut Ozil was criticised for his performances versus Everton and Manchester City

The 28-year-old was slammed last week after appearing to duck when the Gunners conceded a late headed winner against Everton.

Ian Wright has called on Arsenal fans to focus on the team's issues rather than just Mesut Ozil

“The problem for Arsenal is a collective one, not individual.”

Arsenal legend Ian Wright identifies where things are going wrong for the Gunners

"We all know the quality he’s got, so there can be no excuse for the performance he served up at the Etihad.

"I’m not interested in all the stuff being chucked around about how he was walking. That’s pretty much irrelevant.

"When people went on about that it was wrong, because City were actually in front of him, Arsenal were pretty much in shape and if he’d have bombed around, he’d have left a gap and been hammered for that.

"He does need to start delivering more than he is right now, though, because frankly he is letting down all those fans who continue to fight his corner.
